god job on this :D ...

cool girl! I like her!

there aren't any white pixels - they're dark flesh-colored ones for her part.

She reminds me of Hermoine
Great work, but Saiklor made me curious, what are those 4 white pixels?

 shoot! I forgot (and I hate how you can't edit previous posts, blarge)! there are like four-five white pixels along the part of her hair, what's with that? is that her skin? they look sort of out of place to me.

 I think the reason it looks like armour is the width of the shadow area. If you consider where you put shadowing to the be the area "falling away" then this skirt has some pretty thick fabric to be falling away for that far. God I hope that made sense.

Maybe less of an area "falling away" along the side and bottom. perhaps some vertical wrinkles like on the shirt for texture (to avoid it being just a big grey square with the shading thus gone)

and I thought Ravenclaw because of the blue, but when I saw the little tweaks of yellow I figured she was just generic.

Or maybe she's a Huffleclaw, or a Ravenpuff......

 Woah. Blue you just get better and better everytime!  I love the facial expression, poor girl *giggles*  +fav

fr0st: pleated skirts are the hardest thing in the world to capture. if you have advice, pleeeease help me out, I don't know how else to do it.

sedgemonkey: hey, some guys dig catholic schoolgirls...(;

 wow, very neat style, like the pose and the dithering i nice, but the bottom of her skirt looks like samurai armor xD, nice nontheless ^^

No prom date for this chica.

Really tight work... love the way you did the back arm dropped behind her body and the braid behind the head. Gives it a nice sense of depth.

 Wow, that's top notch, and the shapes and dithering is all fantastic! Wonderful job :) But if she's in ravenclaw, she's missing her robe.. heh

So funny that you mentioned ravenclaw - because Phoenix said the same thing. I don't know, she just looked like she needed to be in a school girl outfit to me, and blue and gold went well with the hair...(;
